Luna2 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 DCMom - Is your kid has been on zoloft 12 mg for a while and having symptoms, I would up it to 25 mg. It is still a low dose. Or go to 25 mg on day 1 and 12 mg on day 2, etc. which increases more slowly. The half life of SRRIs is long so kiddo should not notice the up and down. Also, I have a detailed log I keep of flare up behaviors. I chart these so that I can track if this change is helping or making things worse. I would give the new dose about a month to settle down unless things are dramatically worse then I would drop back. If things are severe, I also up the dose of augmenton ES (I find the kind of augmenton also makes a difference for my dd and she does best with the ES). The clonidine is also a possibility. It has a patch form that can be cut into lower does. Worked great until dd developed an allergic reaction to the adhesive. Sorry to hear that the anxiety is rising.
EmersonAilidh Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Posted May 9, 2011 I don't have time to post a proper reply but I am making a new post & promise I'll get back to this later. I just got out of the ER for Serotonin Syndrome. Go figure.
